Tentacles & triathlons

"When a grumpy park ranger meets a charming kraken, love might be worth the swim upstream in this sexy monster romance. There is only one thing holding back Briarwood Parks Department supervisor Reece Rollins from success in his upcoming triathlon-his subpar swimming skills. At the urging of his sister's wolven mate, Reece joins Leviathan Fitness to train in the gym's Olympic-size pool. There he meets Cyrus, a charming kraken with unparalleled skill in the pool, and many, many tentacles that both intimidate and intrigue Reece. When Cyrus offers to coach Reece for his race, he happily accepts the help. For the past few months, Cyrus has been floating through life without his usual spark. He's even hit a creative block with his painting and hasn't been able to produce a new piece of artwork in a while. But the opportunity to train this handsome human grump gives Cyrus something real to smile about. New and unexpected feelings begin to arise from the depths as Reece and Cyrus start to spend time together in and out of the water. But can both men let down their guards enough to be swept away by love?"-- Provided by publisher.
